Sensitivity and Awareness
We understand being entrusted to evaluate potential hazards presented by memorials of all shapes and sizes and their surrounding environment is a serious responsibility.
At Headstone Testing Services we provide competent assessment using appropriate knowledge, correct application of procedures and accurate methods of data recording.
“Operators should adopt a risk based and proportionate approach to the managing of memorials. Memorials are one of a number of low level risks in the Cemetery and need careful and sensitive management”.
